How it works
tabby is a payment service in the UAE. You pay part of the amount up front and the rest in later instalments.
You see your plan in the tabby app before you agree to it.
What you need
- The tabby app, with your account set up
- A valid payment card linked to the account
- Enough of a spending limit for your treatment
tabby sets your limit, and the clinic cannot change it.
Before you agree
Open the app and read the schedule. Check the number of payments, their dates and any fees shown.
Make sure the instalments fit your salary date. Late payments can carry charges under tabby’s own terms.
Paying at the clinic
- Get your treatment plan Your dentist explains what you need and what it costs.
- Check insurance first We work out what your plan pays, if you have one.
- Tell reception you want tabby Staff will show you how to pay for the rest.
Longer treatments
Braces and other long treatments may be billed in stages. Ask how your treatment will be charged before you start.
Is it right for you?
Splitting a payment helps when you need treatment now and your budget is tight this month. It suits you when you know you can make every payment on time.
If money is a worry, ask your dentist whether any part of the treatment can wait. Some plans can be done in stages.
Treatments that run over several visits
- Braces and clear aligners
- A root canal followed by a crown
- Several fillings spread over a few visits
These are the treatments where a payment plan and a treatment plan line up most easily.
Keeping records
Save your receipts from the clinic and the confirmations from tabby. You may need them for an insurance claim or your own budget.
If a payment looks wrong, contact tabby first. We can resend a clinic invoice if you need one.
Staying on schedule
Turn on payment reminders in the app, so a due date does not slip past. Contact tabby straight away if you think a payment will be late.
Questions to ask before you start
- What does my full treatment plan cover?
- Which part will my insurance pay?
- Will I be billed in one go or in stages?
- Can tabby cover all of it, or only part?
Write the answers down. They help when you check the plan in the tabby app.
If your treatment changes
Plans can change once treatment starts, for example if a tooth needs a crown. Ask how any extra work would be billed before it goes ahead.
